Question

10.0 g pure V2O5 is brought in solution state by dissolving it in acid medium. Now, the solution is reduced to V2+ by quantitative mass Zn metal. If I2 is now added to this solution, how much moles of I2 will be reduced if V2+ is oxidized to V4+ ions?
Given that atomic mass of V=51.

Solution

The correct option is A 220
The half reactions are as follows:
6e+(V5+)2V2+
V2+V4++2e
2e+I022I
Let Meq. of V2+(V.f=2) be a.
Meq. of I2= Meq. of V2+(V.f=2)=a = Meq. of V2+(V.f=3)=3a2 = Meq. of V5+=3a2
or, wEV2O5×1000=3a2
a=2×10×1000×63×182 =219.78 [EV2O5=1826]
Hence, moles of I2 that will be reduced if V2+ is oxidized to V4+ ions is 219.78220 mol.
